There are phases in life when exhaustion becomes so woven into our days that we stop noticing it. When tiredness is not just physical but held deep in the mind, the breath, the nervous system. Burnout does not always arrive dramatically. Sometimes it settles in quietly through constant responsibility, emotional load, unending expectations, and the silent belief that we must keep going because slowing down feels unsafe. We start moving through life on borrowed energy: awake but not fully alive, functioning but not nourished, present but not truly here. And somewhere beneath all of it lives a question we rarely dare to ask: Am I allowed to rest?
Releasing Burnout: Am I Allowed to Rest is an invitation to explore that question with honesty and gentleness. This session is not about productivity hacks or pushing through fatigue. It is about recognising how the body absorbs overwhelm, how the mind normalises constant effort, and how rest becomes something we postpone instead of something we receive. Through grounding breathwork, somatic unwinding, and reflective inquiry, you will be guided to reconnect with the part of you that is tired, tender, and longing for permission to pause.
On December 24th, 2025, at 6:00 PM (online), Vasundhara Shukla holds a restorative space designed for deep exhale rather than endurance. A space where you are invited to meet your exhaustion with compassion, not judgement. Where the body is allowed to soften at its own pace, and where rest becomes a right rather than a reward. This session is a reminder that burnout is not a failure; it is a signal. And responding to that signal with care is one of the most profound forms of self-respect.
